Question

Choose whether each of the following statements is true or false.

Electric field lines never diverge from a point in space.

A positive point charge in an electric field always travels in the direction of the electric field.

The total electric field at any location in space always points towards or away from a charge.

Electric field lines never cross at a point in space.

All net charges can be written as Q = Ne, where N is an integer and e is the charge of a proton.

A negative point charge in an electric field always accelerates in the opposite direction of the electric field.

1. Electric field lines never diverge from a point in space.- FALSE

2. A positive point charge in an electric field always travels in the direction of the electric field.- FALSE

positive charge may travel in opposite direction also but its acceleration will be in the direction of Electric field .

3. The total electric field at any location in space always points towards or away from a charge. - FALSE

4. Electric field lines never cross at a point in space - TRUE

5. All net charges can be written as Q = Ne, where N is an integer and e is the charge of a proton.- TRUE

6. A negative point charge in an electric field always accelerates in the opposite direction of the electric field. - TRUE
